Alas, it seems that Ranieri did not survive this hurdle in the end. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 Watching the news in the newspaper about Ranieri's dismissal by Abramovich, George, who had just finished a day of training, sighed helplessly. To be honest, he really felt that the tinkerer was a little wronged by this class.

You know, in terms of technical and tactical aspects, Ranieri can be said to be the top presence among the 20 managers of the Premier League this season. Even Alex Ferguson, who single-handedly built the Manchester United dynasty, and Bobby Robson, who led the LinkedIn Gran national team to its best major result since the 1966 World Cup, are no match for tinkers. Even Arsène Wenger, who created Arsenal known for his technical flow in the Premier League and even European football, is not necessarily Ranieri's opponent in terms of tactical theory.

After all, the study of football tactics is an inherent talent of Italian coaches. Even the managers of those Serie A relegation teams are the first to talk about football theory. So it's not too surprising that Ranieri is at the top of the pyramid in this area of Premier League coaching circles.

What's more, although he didn't get a trophy that Abramovich wanted to see, Ranieri did not lead Chelsea to the semi-finals of this season's Champions League, and the league table has also moved up one place from last season. For Chelsea, who underwent a major overhaul last summer, this is already quite a rare achievement.

Although Ranieri does not have the demeanor of a big manager, and his coaching style seems too cautious and conservative most of the time, then again, Bosque, who led Real Madrid to two Champions League and La Liga titles in four years, also looks like an ordinary old man. Abu looked down on Ranieri for this reason, which is really unreasonable.

Suffice it to say that if Mourinho, who had been brought in at a great expense after the sacking of Claudio Ranieri, had he been a champion for Chelsea and led the Blues to two consecutive Premier League titles, then the Russian tycoon's rash dismissal of the tinkerer at the end of the season would have made him a second Massimo Moratti, and Chelsea would have been in chaos due to frequent manager changes.

And this time, Abu still followed the trajectory of his previous life, and quickly found Jorge Mendes after sacking Ranieri, and contacted Jose Mourinho, who had just led Porto to the Champions League final, through this agent predator, and planned to invite the Portuguese young coach to Stamford Bridge to become the new helm of the Cherski!

For Abu's invitation, Mourinho is also quite moved. After all, Mourinho has reached the pinnacle of what he can currently achieve at Porto, and the only way to take his managerial career to the next level is to go to the big four leagues.

By the way, in fact, Abu is preparing with both hands at this time. While hooking up with Mourinho, the Russian tycoon is also secretly in contact with Monaco coach Didier Deschamps. In other words, the two managers who played against in this Champions Cup final, Roman Abramovich actually kept in touch with them!

As the saying goes, you can't put your eggs in one basket. As a successful businessman, Abu naturally does not forget this famous saying. After all, what the Russian tycoon needs is a champion coach to coach Chelsea, not a loser. So, while the more flamboyant Mourinho has an appetite for the equally unruly Roman Abramovich, if Porto lose to Monaco in the Champions League final, then Abou will put Mourinho aside and welcome the former French national team captain to Stamford Bridge!

Although he is an outsider in football, Abou's philosophy of running Chelsea is very clear. It is through this method that the impression is subtly implanted in the minds of the fans that the underdog is not qualified to be at the helm of the Blues, and that the only ones who can manage Chelsea are the champions!

For Chelsea now, Deschamps and Mourinho are obviously the easiest targets. After all, in the eyes of most top managers, Chelsea are just an upstart who has risen on foreign capital, and they don't deserve to put down their dignity and condescend to coach.

You know, the previous teams that relied on the boss's crazy investment to make a name for themselves in European football, such as Lazio and Leeds United, ended up quite miserable. Therefore, with the lessons of Lazio and Leeds, these managers are naturally cautious about Abu's invitation, for fear that if they are not careful, their reputation will be planted here at Chelsea.

Therefore, Abu, who understands this, will focus on those young coaches who have just achieved certain results in European football and are not so demanding for the next family under Kenyon's suggestion. Because only these people can agree to Abu's invitation if they meet the requirements of the Russian tycoon.

In this way, Deschamps and Mourinho, who led Monaco and Porto to this season's Champions League final respectively, are naturally the best candidates that Abou can recruit. Although Valencia coach Rafa Benitez also looks very good, compared with Deschamps and Mourinho, who led the team to a big win in the Champions Cup, Benitez, who can only lead the Bats to the league and the League Cup, is undoubtedly much weaker in terms of momentum and fame. As a result, he was only seen by Abou as an alternative target after failing to win down Mourinho and Didier Deschamps.

In short, in Abu's eyes, Benitez is nothing more than a spare tire. It hurts to say that, but it's true.

While Abramovich is actively involved with Mourinho and Deschara, George's side is not ready to prepare for the FA Cup final with Millwall. After all, after a season of actual combat testing, Tottenham have also exposed many weaknesses and shortcomings, and need to be targeted in the summer transfer market. In addition, some players who are not in the team's future plans, or do not want to continue to play in White Hart Lane, also need to make a move as soon as possible, and find suitable substitutes for them, which is also a huge task!

So, while preparing for the FA Cup final, George also had to be distracted by the team's summer recruitment plan, so as to ensure that Tottenham, which had managed to rise with great difficulty, would not fall behind in this turbulent era!
